Having problems with your Canon PowerShot SX100 IS Digital Camera ?

The view screen in the back oc camera has stopped working.It only works when reviewing photos taken. Can anything be done?

Answers :

Think that you might have just accidentally pressed the DISP or DISPLAY button on the back of your camera. This manually turns the LCD display on and off to save batteries. You would then use the optical viewfinder in its place. To turn the screen back on, just press the DISP button one more time.

Olympus D-435
Our camera has been working fine until last week when we started getting this error message - memory full on a blue screen when we had taken only one photo (and deleted all previous photos). Thinking there was a problem with the memory card, we removed it and used only the camera's internal memory which worked for a short while - allowing us to take 12 shots - but now it will only let us take 1 shot before giving us the error message. Is there anything I can do? Many thanks

You can try updating the firmware of the camera since this is not a problem with the memory card its with the camera itself you can check Olympus web site for software update on this.Hope that helps....... ...

My camera still takes pictures but the screen to see the photo is messed up all you see it a white screen and it was working fine. I had taken some pictures then uploaded them and when I went to take a look on the camera again the screen was messed up and it hasn't gone back to normal. what would cause this?

Black screen The camara was working fine a couple days ago, but now when i turn the camara on, the lcd screen is black. I can't see anything, hence I can't take pictures. Also, when i take a picture (although screen is black and i can;t actually see what i'm shooting), the picture review shows my past photos in perfect color except for my "test shot". Any suggestions? Thanx.

I have a samsung L200 digital camera. It was working fine until my 2 year old little girl decided she needed to play with it. Not sure if she done something or not but now the camera will not work. When I try to turn it on the power button lights up but that is all that happens. The screen does not come on or anything else. Also the lens seems to be stuck and will not go back in. And I also just noticed that the power button will only turn the camera on but will not turn it off. I was trying to

Sounds like she may have dropped it and caused a lens problem. I don't know how much damage you've done so far in attempting to disassemble it but, if you can, put everything back and try the following:\012\012 ...

Black Screen ive got a black screen when i take pictures; everything else on the camera works. the menu's pop up; the pictures ive taken show on review. but the actual view doesnt show anything and is completely black so whenever i take a picture its just all black. i just got this camera for christmas and it hasnt been dropped or exposed to liquid. it doesnt show a lens error number either; because i dont even think it knows it has one.. its just black though.

I have the exact problem. I came on slowly, some days it would work, some days it wouldnt. Finally i couldnt get it working at all. Sent it back to Kodak as it was still under warranty, the repair center claims it was "physical damage". They admit th ...

Camera FX35 was working fine. In middle of taking pix in Oxford, screen suddenly refused to come back on, although optical viewfinder works and on screen viewing of taken shots works OK.
Is there a power-saving feature I accidently turned on? Only have the simplified manual with me and am new to the camera. Tried my spare battery but same results. I can continue to take shots via the viewfinder and shots seem to work, but I really want the screen back -

My cybershot screen is blank - the touch elements still work but i can't see anything on photo or review mode.

Kodak M763. Display works all right if I review photos already taken, but there is usually no display when I try to take a picture. It's black. It may be that, if the battery is fully charged, I may see a display in a sepia tone or a bluish overcast. The information on the screen is bright, it's the viewfinder image that can't be seen. It would have helped me if I could turn it on while its charging, but I can't. That would have solved te question of a low-voltage electrical input. If a subject

Pink Screen I purchased the Sony Cyber-shot 8.1 mega pixel DSC-W150 about 6 months ago and all of a sudden everything went pink. When I turn it on, the display is pink. I try to take pictures and they comes back pink. I cannot find anything in the settings that has changed, and I don't know what to do! I removed the battery and charged it, took out the memory card and uploaded the previously taken pictures onto my computer and they were fine, but now it will not work or allow me to take any

When about to take photo, the image on the viewfinder goes pink, and it looks as if it is 'melting' or as if there are icicles dripping from the subject. It has done this before but then seems to rectify itself without me doing anything.

Photos taken now not visible on memory card.
I'm currently on vacation and have been taking photos on my DMC-TZ5. Camera has been working fine, until yesterday.
I took a number of photos of a particularly memorable day when none of the group had a camera with them. Every time a photo was taken the image was displayed for a second before being able to take another shot. A number of times I went back to check the photos, each time the photo was visible.
However, when I returned home and p

Camera had beer spilled over it. Not much but enough to stop it working. I took it to a camera repair shop in Vitnam, The guy said he could fix it and went to work on it, when i got it back it worked perfect for a while and all of a sudden it stopped showing an image on the display. I can however look at previously taken photos. Just cant take new ones. If i take a photo and then check if an image came out (even though i couldn't see an image when i took the photo) nothing is shown. I really hat

We have a Canon SD1100 IS. We wanted to take a photo, but the screen is black. We took a photo anyway and tried to view it and it does not come on the screen, and the screen is still black. We tried the DISP button and that does not work in this case. Everything else seems to be ok. We can see the other photos we have taken. Do you have any idea what is wrong with the camera or where we can take it to have it looked at or fixed?

Hi.
I have a problem with my Panasonic DMC LZ1.
Has developed a fault. When powered on with charged batteries and memory card inserted, the camera doesnt do anything on any setting except the review (arrow indicator) setting.
The review setting only works if you 'power on' on this setting. (You can see photos on the memory card). If you power on -on a different setting and move the dial to review, then review doesnt work either. Neither the display (except for review as above) or lens wor
